Washington married Martha. 1t

ment, but subsequently purchased
from the Lee heirs by TIE United
States at a cost of S25O,0O0. Nine.
teen thousand Union soldiers lie
buried here. The grounds are laid
ont in broad avenues shaded by
primeval oaks and towering eims,
and the drives and winding walks
amid the flowers and leafy dells
and ravInes that overlook the
Capital City, present a view of
unparalleled magniGcance. There
is always throng OF visitors there,
aud the stranger within our gates
who fails to visit Arlington, loses
one of the lOveliest scenes in all
the land.
Another places of surprising
beauty is Oak Hill Cemetery, stu.
ated on Rock Creek. in what Is
known locally az West Washing

old city of Georgetown. Way

citizens show little enterprise com
pared with the balance of the Dis
trict, and during the war it was
emphatIcally the secession hot bed
of this section. Nature made here
the lOveliest burial place the eye
ever rested upon, which has been
most beautifully adorned by the
lavish expenditure of large sums.
1t Is handsomely laid ont in ter
races giving the most enchanting
and picturesque views of hill and

achieved great reputation in states

bowers, polished marble, gentle
cascades, and sparkling fountains,

place is Oak Hill. Thousands
every Sabbath seek this EIyslan
retreat, aud hold sweet communion
with the Beautiful Beyond.
The Washington Navy Yard
having been changed to an or
dance plant, necessitates q large
amount of new machinery. There
is now being built for use, among
numerous other things, six huge
iron lathes, 100 feet in length, and
weighing 200 tons each. They are
models of inventive genius, and
are so constructed that work on
both the outside aud inside Of the
mammoth guns may be carried on
at the same time. Three Of these
guns are nearly completed, are
nearly thirty feet in length, and
will throw a twelve inch projectile

Noreaci Matters.

Notwithstanding the deprecia- ton in copper the production of the Detroit Copper Company COZ tinues undiminished. It is true that the wages of the mine labor CTS are not quite as high as might be desired. but there is consola- ton in the fact that no reduction is contemplated. The principal mines worked at present by tho Detroit company are the Copper Mountain, Yankie, MoDtezuma, Rynerson and Arizona Central, the output of which, both in quality and quantity. continues as satis- factory as heretofore.
 Gordon Mclean is minging foreman, and judging from the number of mon and mines under his supervision he must have his hands full, but Gordon is equal to the task.
 Work at the smelters is running smoothly. The foreman was called away recently by the serious ill. ness of his mother, but as Mir. Church is thoroughly posted in all branches of the business, he as s'imed charge of tEe smelters, and no inconvenience resulted.
 One smelter is not sufficient to
The Clifton clarion., 1887-05-25

work off all of the ore taken out, a second is therefore blown in DOT tion of the time. The production is about 100000 pounds per month or 13,000 pounds per day.
 Quite an improvement has been noticed in the management of the store since Mir. Fraissinet took charge. This is nothing more than should be expected as Mir. Fraiss inet's reputation as a neat and thorough business man is well known.
 Bill Wright is still on this side of the hill, foreman of the Detroit, Humming Bird and other mines belonging to the Arizona Copper Company. There is no falling off in the output of these mines. either in quality or quantity, although, of course. it becomes more expen- sive as the workings enlarge.
 Ed. Merrie continues to boss the Longfellow. The mine is worked but not so extensively as formerly, and produces as good ore as ever, and the old dnmps furnish tons of excellent concentrates.
 Aleck Torrance. as manager Of the store. gives general satisfaction. His ability IS uu9nestloned and his hospitality uDbonnded.

 The Effects of Mental Exhaustion.

Many diseases, especially those of the ner- vors system, are the pr ducts of daily re nevsd mental exhaustion.
